I have a 79 T/A with a 403 olds engine it's not going to be a drag car so i want the low to mid range torque, i'm looking at the Crane Powermax cams, but i am open to all suggestions... my goal is to reach around 400 lb-ft of torque and 350-400 hp along the same ban line.

try comp cams extreme energy cams or check out their web site compcam.com and you can see what they have to offer and u can make a decision on what u see. do u home work and ask questions before u buy. You will be glad u did. for the street high lift short duration cams are the way to go,to get into the low and mid range torque.

for drag racing only, you should build for maximum horsepower and run the gears to match. i say a solid like comp pn: OL-300B-6, 265/275@.050 600lift. hogged out heads, 13:1 compression on 103 octane. run about 4000 stall and 4.10 or higher gears and you should be set for track duty

I run a Lunati 490/292 cam in my 77 T.A with a 400 Pontiac engine, and I am very pleased with the results I have gotten from it. However I also agree with Abe Comp Cams makes some good cams also. I ran a Comp Cam in my 69 Firebird and had excellent results from it also.
